Too many people are waiting for Jesus to come along and cut your grass. And Jesus isn't going to come along and cut your grass.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
Somehow many have fallen into the belief that being a Christian is supposed to be a cake-walk. It's not.
Every generation has to ask difficult questions about what does it mean to follow Jesus.
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
I do not live in a world where people can walk on water, or still a storm, or take five loaves of bread and feed 5000 men plus women and children. If that is a requirement of my commitment to Jesus, I find it difficult to stretch my mind outside the capacities of my world view.
Jesus is coming back for a church without a spot or a wrinkle. His righteous blood covers the spots and the wrinkles of those who believe unto righteousness, allowing once sinful men to be holy.
If we are busy in a hundred good things - even great things, gospel things, glorious things - but don't sit at the feet of Jesus, we are busy in the wrong ways.
It is not talking but walking that will bring us to heaven.
God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on Thy heart.
Jesus is still up in Heaven, thumbing through his Bible, going 'Where did I say build a water slide?'
